Garmin Oregon 650 Waterproof Handheld GPS with Camera
The new Garmin Oregon 650 Waterproof Handheld GPS with Camera boasts so many more features, so much more power and provides so many more ways to enjoy your expeditions that it will transform your outdoor navigation experience at the time and then let you re-live and share the highlights in so many more ways with family, friends and fellow enthusiats.
For example, the Garmin Oregon 650 can store 4 million geocaches! And you can sync all your data such as waypoints, geocaches, tracks and photo images to the Garmin Cloud and access them from anywhere via your compatible smartphone and BaseCamp mobile app.
This hugely impressive Garmin Oregon 650 gets what it deserves, the brightest and most sunlight-readable 3-inch touch screen ever seen on a Garmin handheld GPS unit so that you can get the most benefit when you are out and about on the trail. The reflective display technology boosts touch screen brightness so much that maps and displays are as vivid in full bright sunlight as they are in shade.
Its high-sensitivity GPS and GLONASS satellite tracking gives faster fixes even in challenging environments) and the pre-loaded worldwide base map with shaded relief and a faster processor enables you to do more than just look at maps - you intuitively interact with them. Zoom in, pan out and rotate using multi-touch in any conditions and even with most gloves.
The Garrmin Oregon 650 was purposely engineered for the outdoors. It features the most brilliant, sunlight-readable touch screen Garmin have ever put on a Garmin handheld, strengthened for impact resistance but with multi-touch and dual-orientation views that still accommodate gloved operation. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are all protected against by this mapping-oriented navigator.
The Oregon 650 has a built-in 3-axis electronic compass with accelerometer tilt compensation which shows where you are heading even when you are standing still and/or not holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude and you even can use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. And, with its high-sensitivity, WAAS/EGNOS and GLONASS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, the Garmin Oregon 650 GPS locates your position quicker and more precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and steep-sided valleys.
Besides its outstanding performance of up to 16 hours’ battery time, the Garmin Oregon 650 features Garmin’s outdoor optimised dual-battery system. You have the option of using the internally rechargeable NiMH pack (not included) or traditional AA batteries in case there is no opportunity for charging. The NiMH pack charges automatically whenever the device is connected to external power.
Now you no longer have to take an additional camera with you to take quality photos. The Oregon 650's built-in 8-megapixel autofocus digital camera takes photos worthy of sharing. And each picture is geotagged right away with the location of where it was taken, allowing you to navigate back to that exact spot in the future. Then share the photos from your Oregon 650 via USB with all your friends through Garmin Adventures, the new online adventure-sharing community. For more storage, insert a microSD card. You can even view pictures from other devices with the Oregon 650 picture viewer.
Now you can wirelessly transfer large files such as photos, geocaches, routes and Custom Maps between Oregon 600 series devices. Plus, new technology allows your routes, waypoints and tracks to transfer up to 50 times faster. Sync your data such as waypoints, geocaches, tracks and images to the Garmin Cloud and access from anywhere via your smartphone* and BaseCamp mobile app. Oregon is also ANT+ wireless compatible with heart rate, chirp and tempe sensors.
